Looking for $2K-$3,500 All-inclusive honeymoon

Erin, on April 16, 2014 at 1:18 AM Posted in Honeymoon 1 17

My husband-to-be's parents want to treat us to an all-inclusive honeymoon but there are sooooo many options and I want to hear from real brides! Smiley smile Has anyone experienced an all-inclusive honeymoon (including airfare) for around $2,000 - $3,500? We want a lot of beach time and all the usual stuff (all meals / drinks included), but also want activities like hiking / running / basketball (might be a pipe dream). We'd at least like the option to have a good workout if we work up the energy after drinking and eating. Smiley smile Also, if anyone happened to fly from and back to different cities that'd be helpful. We're getting married at home in Indiana, but flying back to Texas. Hotel names, links and total costs for two people would be so helpful! Oh, and we'll be going the last week of November if that helps! Thanks in advance for helping a newby! Smiley smile

    We didn't do an all inclusive but we didn't spend more than $3,000 on our honeymoon. That included our food, drinks, airfare, car rental, hotel and all the little things we did. We went to Orlando and did both universal parks plus got a ton of stuff there. That was our most expensive outing. I was stalking the travel sites and when I saw the tickets drop to $400 for 2 ROUNDTRIP tickets I jumped on it :-) We also traveled during the week. Another thing that saved up so much money was our hotel. We booked one of those timeshare tours. We paid $500 for 5 days 4 nights upfront but got a $200 in visa gift cards back. We used that for our dinners. Our room was actually really really nice. Yes we had to give up 2 hours of our morning for one of the days but we used that day as one of our slow paced days :-) We didn't buy anything. We just kept saying no no no. There are tons of ways around it you just have do a lot of research. Figure out where you want to go and then go from there.

    Check out Sandals. We just put our deposit down for our honeymoon and without airfare, it is around 2500. They are all-inclusive and that includes land and water activities as well as food and drinks.

    That's about our budget, we're hoping for 6-7 days. There are a lot of options in the Caribbean and in Mexico. Try looking at cheapcarribbean. Also, try talking to a travel agent at somewhere like Liberty Travel.

    Hi Erin! There are a lot of hotels that fit your description. St Lucia is a great island if you want to stay active, there are volcanoes to explore, catamarans, snorkeling, hiking. There are a bunch of AI there, including Sandals. Also Costa Rica may fit the bill! I am a real bride, getting married in 2 months!!! AHH! LOL If you have any questions, please feel free to email me @ *******@*******.***.

    We're going to Sandals in St. Lucia for 8 days, with airfare and not the cheapest room it's $4k. If you did 1 less day and a cheaper room, you could get it in your budget.

    I'm having a DW in Cancun at Excellence Playa Mujeres. For 2 people, with airfare about 6 days is just over $3000. It's an amazing resort. There are a ton of All Inclusive resorts, and Mexico will be the cheapest with airfare. Check out trip advisor and read lots of reviews. That is what I did when selecting my resort.

    We are going to Punta Cana for 6 days. All inclusive at the Majestic Elegance. We came out to $3000 with flights and hotel, and though it is all inclusive, I know we will have some more expenses.

    We're going to Excellence Playa Mujeres in Mexico. It's an adults only all inclusive with great outdoor activities, including a golf course. We're paying $3,000 for 9 nights in a swim up room, not including airfare.

    I did all inclusive resorts in Jamaica and Barbados for under 3K. Jamaica my mom used a travel agent and Barbados we used expedia or something similar.

    Jamaica - AMAZING - the resort was like a castle (Iberostar). They make it that way so you don't want to leave...some unrest in that area.

    Barbados - resort not AS nice but still awesome. Cool part is you can be on the beach and near downtown and it is a relatively safe place so you can walk around, take the reggae bus, or rent a jeep to tour the island.

    Different types of vacations, but both awesome and affordable.

    Sandals is around $3000?!?!?! When I was looking I thought it was more like $5000 including airfare... Although maybe flights from Canada are super expensive??

    I stayed at the Iberostar in Riviera Maya a few years ago and really loved it. It's actually a big complex made up of a few different resorts that are all in different price ranges. My family stayed at the least expensive and couldn't have been happier.

    I just checked out Expedia and with airfare from where I am, there are a number of AI's in Mexico you could do in your budget: The Catalonia, Sandos, Riu, and Grand Palladium resorts would all fall in that range for a week's vacation, as would Secrets Capri and Secrets Silversands and Valentin Imperial Maya which gets fantastic reviews on Trip Advisor. The Iberostar I stayed at also looks like it's in budget.

    Were staying at Excellence Riviera Cancun in Mexico.

    Our vacation is out of your budget, but you would be able to get it in your budget with a lower room etc.

    We've stayed at Valentin Imperial Maya as well in the Mayan Riviera and that was around $3200 in one of their higher class rooms around the same time you are going.

    Luckily its not peak travel season, so you will be able to find good deals.
